I am a literary agent and publicist with Page Turner Promotions, creative writer and mom to three children.
I love to try and make sense of it all with a bit of humor and to write about what I see going on around me.

I Never Thought I Would See This...

Who have I become? I am in a bidding war on eBay right now with a potential nemesis over what better be less than $50.00, for a Banana Republic, leather bag! I need to get a life... Now, back to see what's going on.

Ok, I'm back and IT-IS-ON....Chick from Long Island, or husband,boyfriend...or whatever you are!
Why do I feel so entitled to this? This is the way auctioning is set up. The rules apply to me as well. It's merely a material thing- that I happen to want at a very low price.
This is what I am reduced to for hitting the 'BROWSE' button? Then typing in 'HANDBAGS'? Click 'WATCHING NOW'? Then, 'BID NOW'? I know....it's ridiculous. But do you know what this bag would sell for, Retail?

I see how you're going to be Long Island....I bet you have too many handbags already. Sure. Unlimited time to spend on searching and bidding for items that you truly don't need. I don't have that kind of time!
Come on! With your persistence, there's a nice Omega watch you could get for under $100.00 if you jump over to that now.

Why this purse? Shouldn't you and your other handbags be determing which one you will use next? Or getting ready for a nice Valentine's Day dinner? Aren't you hungry right now? Go open a bottle of wine and forget about this purse for the next hour and twenty, uh thirty minutes. It's ok. You and your aggressive, clicking, bidding finger just sit..waiting... for the laaast minute to attack...I mean, bid.
You know, this could qualify as a competitive sport! Ughhh, now I am stuck here to fight it out. Sorry kids, get yourselves a Pop-Tart! (the organic with whole grains, of course.) Shame is already hunting me down.

About Me

Literary agent with Page Turner Promotions and creative writer.
I live in Atlanta,GA. with my three children. Since the age of five, I have truly loved to read; I also had a very active imagination and would 'create' stories to tell anyone in my physical proximity.
I graduated from the University of Georgia, with a degree in Psychology, but discovered that all of those Child and Family Development courses provided no significant help later; as I did not retain any of the material studied while subjected to higher learning.
I do remember that I had a great time hosting a radio show and making friends.
My writing has been featured in Atlanta Magazine and T.V. show, Style and Beyond and I was the Atlanta Entertainment Correspondent for Gather.com.
I love time with most of my family and friends, and to find humor in what I see happening around me every day.
